Planning to get a router (perhaps AC-86U) during 12.12 but I need some funds.
How much can I expect to get by selling both my current AC1200 and DIR-842? Both are less than 2 months old. |

Asus Tmall seems to be out of stock for AC-86U. What other sellers do you guys recommend?

QUOTE(junclj @ Dec 6 2018, 11:31 PM) you need to create a China address. Go visit this website and login with your facebook account. Okay, that seems to work. Thanks!https://www.mypostonline.com.my/index.php/M...ogin/login.html go to warehouse address by select the left panel. then choose one of the addresses you like. go back to taobao then login your account. in the taobao webpage, move your mouse cursor to your taobao username at above, click on account management. then click on 收货地址 and insert your china address. Remember to set your China address as the default. So now you can buy the router from tmall. Switch to China then click checkout, then choose your Malaysia address in the checkout page. Always login to your taobao first before you proceed to search that router to buy from tmall. |

QUOTE(theROCKeteer @ Dec 12 2018, 09:52 AM) any good deal for AC86U today? please share. Just bought one from the link below for a total of 931 Yuan including direct shipping. For some reason, I couldn't get the 60 Yuan coupon since it said I didn't have enough points? But I did get some coupons for a total of 25 Yuan.https://detail.tmall.com/item.htm?id=565248...d=3743035646675 |

My AC86U arrived on Monday and I just got to pick it up today due to holiday. Can't wait to go back and try it.

Some updates after testing the AC86U last night for a couple of hours (comparing it to my Tenda AC18 with Merlin):
1) 2.4GHz signal is a little bit stronger 2) 5GHz signal is stronger 3) Web firmware interface is more responsive 4) Performance is about the same since only 6 devices are connected at the same time 5) Haven't tried any of the fancy features yet (WTFast etc.) Overall, not bad. Are you guys using Merlin with your AC86U? |

QUOTE(sgpdsmss @ Dec 29 2018, 09:15 PM) don't have the link anymore...bought a year ago .... Seems like you have the T-Mobile version. If you've upgraded to Merlin before, I think you can just directly use the latest Merlin firmware without any conversion?flashed merlin firmware after received the router till now .. attached is the router .. thanks ... |

QUOTE(sgpdsmss @ Jan 1 2019, 10:00 AM) hi,,, What I think is that, perhaps your Taobao seller has already converted it for you. Anyway, that's good.i had successfully flashed from merlin firmware from 380.66.4 to 384.8.2 without any conversion... had been turbo-ed to 800 mbps but speedstest still max ~ 300 mbps.. wonder why..,.. thanks,,, Not sure why you can't reach 800Mbps. According to this list, you should be able to get at least 500Mbps. I'd check with a different PC or LAN cable to see if the router is the problematic one. |
